Software solutions provider ArtiCAD has announced a new partnership with MKM Building Supplies, the UK’s largest independent builders’ merchant. This collaboration will see MKM implement ArtiCAD’s flagship design software, ArtiCAD-Pro, alongside its advanced pricing, ordering and business management solution, to enhance the design journey for both staff and customers.
With a network of over 130 branches nationwide, MKM is renowned for its customer-first approach and commitment to delivering exceptional service. The addition of ArtiCAD’s pricing solution, powered by KBBConnect, ensures fast, accurate quotations and orders plus integrations with both their ERP solution and consumer credit process – creating a seamless journey from initial consultation to final purchase.
A key factor in MKM’s decision to partner with ArtiCAD was the platform’s advanced cloud-based architecture. This ensures that updates are completed centrally, allowing the software to remain consistently up-to-date without disruption. The cloud solution also enables staff to access the platform anytime, anywhere, ensuring flexibility across MKM’s nationwide branch network.
Neil Metcalf, sales director at ArtiCAD, said: "We’re thrilled to partner with MKM, a company whose commitment to exceptional customer service mirrors our own. This collaboration represents a significant step forward for both of us. With ArtiCAD’s innovative design and pricing solutions, MKM can offer customers faster, more accurate, and visually impressive designs. Together, we’re not only enhancing the design process but also empowering MKM’s teams to deliver an even higher level of service and confidence in every customer interaction."
Charlotte Deprez, national showroom sales manager at MKM, said: “At MKM, our customer-first ethos is at the heart of everything we do. ArtiCAD stood out as the ideal partner to help us enhance our design services, enabling our customers to access exceptional detailed 3D visuals and comprehensive customer quotations quickly. From the beginning ArtiCAD have been professional, helpful and friendly and above all accommodating to our specific requirements. We’re excited about the potential of this collaboration to further enhance our service and strengthen our position as the UK’s leading independent builders’ merchant.”
